WCVA’s mission is to provide excellent support, leadership and an influential voice for the third sector and volunteering in Wales. In fulfilling that mission we need to ensure that we accurately represent the views and needs of our members, services users and the sector as a whole whenever we can. To help us with that we would like to encourage you to participate with what we are doing, in a number of ways.

Feedback: Are you finding that there is a
particular issue that is causing you difficulties as a trustee? Or
are there areas that you find there is often a lack of information
on? We want to help you in the best way that we can, so if we find
that a number of trustees are raising the same problem with us we
will look into ways that we might be able to resolve the issue.
Equally, we need to know when we have done something well or how we
might be able to improve something specific for trustees, so we
would encourage you to send us your feedback to help us always be
the best we can be.

Consultations: We always like to ensure that
trustees are given the opportunities to contribute to consultations
on subjects that may affect them or the organisations that they
work with. We look to submit responses to various consultations
that are of importance to the sector, and always welcome comments
from our members and service users as that helps us to truly
represent your views and needs in relation to the topic in
question. You can find details of the
consultations that are currently open for responses
here.

Social media: This is one of the quickest,
cheapest and most effective ways that you might be able to let
us and other people that we are connected with know what you are
thinking, or what you would like to say about something specific.
You can follow us on Twitter to join in with
up to the minute discussions about breaking news and events, or to
tweet about something that our other followers might be interested
in. Or you could 'like' us on Facebook and see what's been posted
and shared on there, from details of how you can join in with a new
venture, to photographs of a recent event, or a link to a new
publication you might find useful. And if you're a keen blogger
with plenty to say about your experiences as a trustees or a
subject that's relevant to others in the third sector in Wales,
we'd love to hear from you! Submissions should be emailed to Simon
Dowling, Marketing & Communications Adviser, on sdowling@wcva.org.uk. They need to be
a maximum 400 words, plus you need to tell us your name, position,
the name of the organisation you work for and your contact
details.

Can we help you?
